Recent Product Reviews:

Great book, but cost is too high for such a small portion of my particular survey class. Will consider for future course design.
Mrs Jody Sommerfeldt, Ed Curriculum Instruction Dept, Old Dominion University
"With the push for a technology-centered classroom, it is useful to have a book such as this one to help teachers navigate through the applications available to determine their usefulness in the classroom."
Melody L. Aldrich, Teacher, Poston Butte High School, San Tan Valley, AZ
"The authors clearly describe the apps and highlight connections between classroom instruction and student learning."
Sally Bennett, Curriculum Coordinator, East Poinsett County School District, Lepanto, AR
"The chapters provide comprehensive information on each app including the subject areas, cost (if any), developer address, background information, and how to use the specific app. This is an important contribution to the myriad resources available for teachers who like to use technology in their classroom."
Karen Chenoweth, Assistant Principal, University High School, Orange City, FL
"The authors encourage educators to think outside of personal comfort zones to capitalize on young learners’ inquisitiveness."
Judith A. Rogers, Mathematics Specialist, Tucson Unified School District, AZ
